Apparently, you don’t need Kevlar to stop bullets. Human skin combined with spider silk-infused goat milk can do the job just as well. Dutch scientists recently brought this combination to life, pushing the limits of science. The project is called “2.6 g 329m/s” which is the standard weight and velocity that a Type 1 bulletproof vest can protect against.

Spider silk might not seem like much, but it’s the toughest of all the silks in existence. Its many times stronger than steel, and it’s the toughest natural protein fiber. With that much strength, spider silk is capable of a great many things. And when woven together, it could even stop bullets.

Ha, it's amazing at how far technology has come in the past years. I just wonder if there will be any volunteers willing to try out just how bulletproof this invention will be (haha).

Rather, genetically enhanced goats were infused with spider silk at the genetic level. The goats then produced milk that carried the spider silk protein which was then spun into a matrix laced with human skin cells.

Also:

Yes, it's able to stop one of the slowest and weakest bullets in the arms kingdom...after it's slowed down some. Still has a way to go!

This. It's still progress though. It's one step closer to inventing the Ubercharge.
